Juventus full-back Mattia De Sciglio confessed he “didn’t even know how to celebrate” after scoring the first goal of his entire career.It was a stunning strike too on the 173rd game of his career for club and country, unleashing a right-foot rocket from 20 metres out in the 3-0 victory over Crotone.“Scoring that goal was an amazing feeling and I didn’t even know how to celebrate,” he told Sky Sport Italia.

“All my teammates ran towards me, including Gigi Buffon, who ran the entire length of the pitch to give me a hug. It was already an emotional moment, but seeing Buffon there all of a sudden just made it even better. A wonderful night.“They also told me I now have to buy dinner for the whole team!”De Sciglio left Milan over the summer, as he was often criticised by fans and accused of lacking determination.“Maybe it’s because I’m a clean-cut kid, which is what people called me. I need another two or three scars, evidently. I’ve been working separately by myself for the last two years on top of usual training, as I believe hard work pays off in the end. I tried to stay calm and do what I know best.”
